Disappointed with this purchase. The tree is definitely unsubstantial. The branches do not shape easily, so we have some rather large gaps in the tree that make it look artificial. There was an unpleasant plastic odor that emanated from the tree for several days. My kids asked me where I bought the Charlie Brown Christmas tree! The plus is it seems to be sturdy... However it's not very attractive.

I'm considering this tree and it would be my first artificial tree.

What can you offer to assure me that the look and feel will be best in class. Do you offer a sample of the needles etc.? The pictures of the tree looks beautiful, however i'm afraid it will look like plastic.

If this is your first artificial tree, try a different one that is fuller with branches that are easier to shape. The fact that you can't really shape the branches makes it look artificial at first glance.This purchase was disappointing.
